Bones Kickstarter #2 Discussion

[Dan Goodchild]

If my math is right it took something like 23 days to reach this level of funding in the first project.
My… how times have changed.

Out of curiosity.. what's the appeal of Heros & Villains with detachable bases? I guess I don't understand how you use the detachable base in anything other than a display scenario.

What happens when the number of pledges reaches 6500? Is it suddenly finished?

Most folks will likely to use those bases for other things. Also saves the trouble of having to remove the models from brocoli bases. I'm happy.

That's just it. To swap them to playable bases as needed.

That is pretty much it. If you want a display piece, mount the character on the fancy base. If you want a tabletop mini, maybe put it on a normal base.

I can has Warlord Bones?

[Cranky Dog]

Woohoo, mini-demons and BIGGER ROOM mini case available!

Before we reach that number Reaper will open up Wave 4

[Suden]

KS II is now predicted to be $11 million on kicktraq, and number two on their hot list.

[MiniCannuck]

Being Canadian, I understand people's concerns with regards to unknown shipping. However, I trust Reaper will treat us fairly and I hope there is a shipping announcement later on that will clear things up. Reaper is one of the few companies out there that treats Canada and the ROTW fair in their shipping costs. I can't see them giving free shipping to the US without at least partially subsidizing a similar amount to the rest of us.

 

Have Faith. Buy Bones!

Story time?

 

Okay, so my plan this morning was to get up nice and early and go to the bank to pay my card up so it wouldn't scream at me when I tried to use it. I know people have said "you don't pay at the end"' and "why not pledge, then sort it out" but last year when I pledged with insufficient funds it said "NO". Presumably, Amazon would do the same today.

 

Anyway, so I got up late and, expecting it to be like last time, I was surprised to see limited pledges. Uh oh! So I called a cab, and made ready to get down to business.

 

Well.

 

This town is run by idiots, you see. There's only one road in and out. Just one. Everything feeds into this. It was decided to do road work on this. Today. In the middle of the day, for some reason. So I got maybe 30 feet from my house in the cab. After 15 minutes and getting 5 more feet, I threw $20 at the cabbie, wished him good luck, and abandoned the vehicle for foot mobility.

 

Immediately I got out of the cab I was almost creamed by some junked-up butthead in a 4x4 so impatient he was driving on the shoulder.

 

Undaunted, I proceeded across the road to begin my Quest For Bank. In the 15 minutes to get there, I saw 2 collisions and multiple incidents of road rage. It's apocalyptic out there. Seriously.

 

I made it to the bank, paid up, proceeded to start home. I was crossing an intersection, when a truck comes swerving into the turn and wham! right into a minivan - now both are coming at me.

 

And you know what I did? I jumped into the ditch. I crawled out, dusted myself off, and started home without looking back. Those people are animals, let the cops sort it out.

 

Finally I got back here, alive somehow, and pledged in. I don't mind being in Wave 2 and waiting, that's the same thing as last time's shipping really. But I do hope people aren't snatching up early slots without an intention to commit. Because that's all the way not cool to do.

 

But I made it. And now you know what i'm prepared to risk for new Bones. My real, actual bones!

 

Hopefully this incident today will wake up the new council to build more roads, but I doubt it. Because that board's stacked all the way with slack-jawed yokels.

That's what you get for living in Raccoon city
